As mentioned yesterday, Sen. Jon Tester’s “Forest Jobs and Recreation Act” has been rolled into the massive, end-of-year, Senate omnibus appropriations bill. There have been some, fairly minor, revisions to the act– nothing substantive. Neither the act’s supporters or opponents seem willing to predict its chances for passage.

• Today’s Missoulian has an expanded article on the FJRA, including a discussion of the most recent changes.
• Sen. Tester’s web site also has a page devoted to the act’s current status, as well as links to the actual text and associated maps.
